Abstract

A water guiding assembly configured to drain water or discharge other liquid or solid substances for a photovoltaic assembly is provided. The water guiding assembly includes a water guider and a mounting component. The water guider includes a water guiding portion, the water guiding portion has a fitting portion configured to abut against a frame of the photovoltaic assembly, to provide a gap between the water guiding portion and the frame to form a guiding channel. The mounting component includes a fixing portion and a connecting portion, an end of the connecting portion is detachably connected to the water guider, and another end of the connecting portion is connected to the fixing portion to form a clamping opening with the water guider and the fixing portion, which is configured to clamp the frame. The connecting portion is provided with a discharge channel butted with the guiding channel.

Claims

 a mounting component, wherein the mounting component comprises a fixing portion and a connecting portion, the connecting portion has one end detachably connected to the water guider and another end connected to the fixing portion, to form a clamping opening with the water guider and the fixing portion; the clamping opening is configured to clamp the frame; wherein the connecting portion is provided with a discharge channel butted with the guiding channel. 
 
     
     
       2. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein an inner wall of the guiding channel has wettability. 
     
     
       3. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the fitting portion has a fitting surface, the water guiding portion further has a water guiding surface connected to the fitting surface, and an angle is formed between the water guiding surface and the fitting surface; and wherein 
 the angle is greater than 180 degrees, to allow the gap to be formed between the water guiding surface and the frame when the fitting surface abuts against the frame, to form the guiding channel. 
 
     
     
       4. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein the water guiding surface is an arc-shaped surface. 
     
     
       5. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the water guider further comprises a mounting portion perpendicular to the water guiding portion, and the mounting portion is provided with a buckle at an end that is away from the water guiding portion; and 
 the connecting portion is perpendicular to the fixing portion, the connecting portion is provided with a buckle slot at an end that is away from the fixing portion, and the buckle is in a snap fit with the buckle slot. 
 
     
     
       6. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the connecting portion comprises a connecting segment and a pressing segment, the pressing segment is perpendicular to the connecting segment, and the pressing segment is configured to press against a surface, away from the fitting portion, of the water guiding portion. 
 
     
     
       7. A photovoltaic module, comprising the photovoltaic assembly and the water guiding assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the guiding channel with a water guiding port is formed between the water guider of the water guiding assembly and a top of the frame of the photovoltaic assembly; and 
 the discharge channel of the mounting portion of the water guiding assembly is butted with the guiding channel, and the water guiding port is located at the photovoltaic assembly. 
 
     
     
       8. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the water guiding portion comprises a water guiding surface, and the fitting portion is a boss protruding downward from the water guiding surface; the boss has a fitting surface configured to abut against the frame. 
 
     
     
       9. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the water guider further comprises a mounting portion perpendicular to the water guiding portion, and the mounting portion is provided with a buckle at an end that is away from the water guiding portion; and 
 the connecting portion is perpendicular to the fixing portion, the connecting portion is provided with a buckle slot at an end that is away from the fixing portion, and the buckle is in a snap fit with the buckle slot. 
 
     
     
       10. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the connecting portion comprises a connecting segment and a pressing segment, the pressing segment is perpendicular to the connecting segment, and the pressing segment is configured to press against a surface, away from the fitting portion, of the water guiding portion. 
 
     
     
       11. A photovoltaic module, comprising the photovoltaic assembly and the water guiding assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the guiding channel with a water guiding port is formed between the water guider of the water guiding assembly and a top of the frame of the photovoltaic assembly; and 
 the discharge channel of the mounting portion of the water guiding assembly is butted with the guiding channel, and the water guiding port is located at the photovoltaic assembly. 
 
     
     
       12. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the water guider further comprises a mounting portion perpendicular to the water guiding portion, and the mounting portion is provided with a buckle at an end that is away from the water guiding portion; and 
 the connecting portion is perpendicular to the fixing portion, the connecting portion is provided with a buckle slot at an end that is away from the fixing portion, and the buckle is in a snap fit with the buckle slot. 
 
     
     
       13. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein
 the fixing portion is provided with an anti-separation buckle at an end that is away from the connecting portion, and the anti-separation buckle is configured to buckle the frame. 
 
     
     
       14. The water guiding assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein
 the number of the buckle slot provided in the connecting portion is two or more, and the two or more buckle slots are arranged at intervals in a direction toward the fixing portion.
